Chapter 966: The Biggest Loophole

In the afternoon, the distance between the two armies was less than thirty miles, and Shen Quan had already discovered that the opponent's strength was abnormal, far more than 5,000 people, and even surpassed his own, and he immediately realized that the Jin army had arrived, mixed with Li Wanrong's army.

At this time, Shen Quan was a little difficult to ride a tiger, retreating would lead to the pursuit of the enemy, and he could not find out the details of the enemy army when he marched, so Shen Quan had to temporarily garrison the camp, on the one hand, send scouts to explore the details of the enemy army, and on the other hand, send people to urge Deng Weigong's army to join him.

As night fell, Shen Quan suddenly got a scout report that the enemy's 20,000 cavalry was rushing towards the camp, Shen Quan was shocked and immediately ordered to put away the tents, and the army resisted the trench and defended with bows and arrows.

Of course, the Shence army did not have a camp fence, but dug a trench on the periphery, which was covered with antlers and sharp stakes, and set up hundreds of large tents, and deployed a large number of patrol posts on the periphery to prevent the enemy from approaching the camp.

Shen Quan still has some ability, he is well-deployed, well-guarded, basically invulnerable, it is impossible for the enemy to sneak attack, and he can only fight hard.

However, Shen Quan's personal ability does not represent the ability of the army, although the Shence Army is well-trained, but the ability to fight at night is very weak, and more importantly, the morale of the Shence Army is low, the army is war-weary, and they are unwilling to stay away from their hometowns, let alone work for the eunuchs.

Many soldiers saw this engagement as a way out of the east, and the first thing they thought about was not fighting, but how to break away from the army and return to their hometowns.

The biggest problem is the 5,000 soldiers in the north, these 5,000 soldiers were originally Li Wanrong's subordinates, who were temporarily cut off by the eunuch group and handed over to Shen Quan to command.

But the time was too short, Shen Quan had only led this army for a few days, and there was no time to change the generals for him, he only changed two lieutenant generals, responsible for commanding two battalions, and the generals below the battalion commander were still Li Wanrong's old generals.

In a big tent that has not had time to be demolished, more than a dozen Lang generals and lieutenants gathered together, and the leader Lang General is called Lu Huaisheng, who was originally a lieutenant general in the second battalion, but was demoted by Shen Quan to use one level, and another lieutenant general resigned and left.

"I just received a secret letter from the old general, he has now surrendered to the King of Jin, and has been named General Wei, and has been knighted as the county duke, if we surrender, we can directly join the Jin army, and the military position remains unchanged, brothers, this is our opportunity!"

Lu Huaisheng's words aroused the resonance of everyone, and a Lang general said: "The emperor has been taken away by the King of Jin, and what we are loyal to now is the eunuch party, and I Chen Guo has never given life to people who have no eggs, even if the King of Jin does not accept me, I will return to my hometown to farm." ”

"Don't talk about this, General Lu, let's just say what we should do!"

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at Lu Huaisheng, Lu Huaisheng lowered his voice and whispered a few words to everyone, everyone nodded again and again, they had no way out, so they could only get out.

The two lieutenant generals appointed by Shen Quan, one named Jiao Tong and the other named Li Sheng, had just returned from the Chinese army's big tent and began to deploy according to the commander's orders.

They gathered more than a dozen generals above the rank of lieutenant, and Jiao Tong said to them: "I just got the latest information, the enemy army is less than ten miles away from us, it is night, and the army cannot fight, so we can only take a defensive position, and then General Li and I will arrange the guard locations of each team and brigade!" ”

Lu Huaisheng suddenly said: "Two generals, everyone hasn't had dinner yet!" How to fight a war when you are hungry, you should arrange dinner first! ”

Jiao Tong glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "If you don't eat one less meal and don't die of hunger, the enemy army is about to be killed, where is there time to have dinner?" ”

"Then there's no way, don't eat dinner, we don't fight!" Lu Huaisheng shouted to everyone.

"That's right! Without dinner, we don't fight! And they all responded.

Jiao Tong and Li Sheng were furious and rushed up to beat Lu Huaisheng, Lu Huaisheng shouted, "Do it!" ”

More than a dozen generals drew their swords together and killed the two generals, and Jiao Tong and Li Sheng were killed by everyone on the spot.

Lu Huaisheng stood up and said, "Everyone, listen to my orders now!" ”

..........

In the dark, Li Bing led 20,000 cavalry to the periphery of the enemy camp, and the enemy outposts on the periphery retreated to the camp, the speed of the Jin army was not fast, Li Bing's soldiers were divided into two routes, and he led 10,000 troops to feint the enemy camp from the west.

He also ordered Zhang Lingyun and Li Yan to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the enemy's camp from the north, and according to the agreement, Li Wanrong's subordinates should cooperate with them from the north.

Zhang Lingyun and Li Yan diverted to the north, and a soldier ignited a rocket and shot straight into the sky, which was the signal agreed in the letter.

Lu Huaisheng saw it clearly, and immediately shouted: "All the brothers come out of the camp with me!" ”

They led five thousand soldiers to run in a northeast direction, there were trenches in front of them, a large number of planks had been erected in advance, and as the five thousand soldiers left, the greatest hole in the enemy camp was exposed.

Zhang Lingyun shouted: "Kill me!" ”

'Woo-' The low trumpet sounded, and the ten thousand cavalry shouted, raised their spears and slaughtered the enemy camp, which they smashed like a flood of banks.

The 6,000 soldiers who were originally squatting due west of the edge of the trench to defend with crossbows were attacked from behind the cavalry of the Jin army, and the crossbow soldiers were caught off guard, and there was a sudden chaos. ”

10,000 cavalry entered the enemy camp from the front, and after 20,000 cavalry were annihilated, the 10,000 troops in the camp quickly collapsed, and the soldiers either fled in all directions, or knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Shen Quan saw that the situation was not good, and led more than 100 personal soldiers to flee westward, facing an army of more than 1,000 people to intercept him, and the leader of the general was Zhang Lingyun, Zhang Lingyun waved his hand and sneered: "If you want to escape, first ask if my knife is agreed!" ”

Shen Quan didn't say a word, urged the horse to step forward and stabbed with a gun, Zhang Lingyun waved a knife to fight, the two fought for more than a dozen rounds, Shen Quan was physically exhausted, Zhang Lingyun grabbed the silk silk on his back, dragged him off the horse, his soldiers swarmed up, tied up Shen Quan, his subordinates wanted to come forward to rescue, Zhang Lingyun killed several people in a row, and the other soldiers saw that the rescue was hopeless, and they scattered and fled.

The battle lasted not long, and ended in less than an hour, with 15,000 soldiers killed and more than 4,000 surrendered, except for Li Wanrong's old 5,000 people, who surrendered en masse, and the rest of the soldiers took the opportunity to flee and returned to their hometowns.

At this time, Shen Quan, the main general of the enemy army, took advantage of the unpreparedness of the soldiers guarding him, jumped into the trench, and was pierced through the body by more than a dozen sharp stakes in the trench, and died on the spot.

Li Bing handed over the surrender army to Li Wanrong, and he continued to lead an army of 20,000 to Chungju.......

At this time, Ju Wenzhen had already received the news of Shen Quan's defeat, not to Li Wanrong, but to be defeated by tens of thousands of Jin cavalry chasing, this news made Ju Wenzhen and others frightened, and urgently ordered to set off.

The fleet set off again, but the hundred officials and their families did not want to leave, the queen mother and the emperor were invited by Guo Song to leave, needless to say, the capital must be moved to Chang'an.

The officials' minds were so lively that they bought off the boatmen, and soon, the more than 60 large ships on which the officials and their families were riding turned around and went back.

At this time, Ju Wenzhen and others couldn't take care of these officials, and they kept urging the boatmen to speed up, eager to fly to Jingnan with wings.

On the third day, the fleet arrived in Nanpu County, Wanzhou, and in the afternoon, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the Jin cavalry finally caught up from the north shore, and the soldiers shouted on the shore to order the fleet to dock.

Ju Wenzhen and the others turned pale with fright, and they ordered the soldiers to threaten the boatmen and not allow them to pull aside, but not all ships were threatened, generally speaking, the boatmen were generally timid and did not dare to compete with the army, first of all, more than 20 large ships transporting palace maids and eunuchs docked.

The eunuchs here are not the eunuchs of the Northern Ya, and the number of eunuchs in the palace is not large, less than 200 people, and the palace maids are a little more, but there are only more than 500 people.

Dozens of large ships transporting palace items also docked, and they were together with the palace maid's fleet, and they would dock together if they wanted to dock.

But other ships will not dock, including the eunuchs and the eunuchs of the Northern Ya, the fleet that transported their belongings, and the guards of the original Zuoyintai, who are now their guards, and they still have about 2,000 people, and they also have dozens of large ships, and the total number of ships adds up, and there are more than 200 large ships in the fleet.

Deng Weigong's 3,000 cavalry followed on the south bank, but soon this army disappeared from the view of the northern eunuchs.
